About this mod
Remade my old preset. Plus made a beginner guide on how to install presets and a bit about brown face bug
- Permissions and credits
This is a remake of my Cute af - 2k HP character preset. Preset was based on Preset pack 3 (Sabrina) by NotWord2.
Looking back at my old preset, I was like, damn, my girl got a glow-up. She looks much better now, at least in my opinion. I do change her look pretty often, and use custom textures, but I tried to remake my latest one with stuff available on Nexus. She loads with black lipstick for some reason, so just remove that.
I will also include a little tutorial for those who have no idea how to install a preset and ensure you don't get a "brown face bug".
So what has changed? Pretty much everything, but the main things are:
1. Skin textures
2. Nose
3. Overall face shape
4. Fixed a few things that made her look weird and not proportional
If you are new to installing presets, read the description of these mods and check for their required mods.

Install options that I picked (open the image in a new tab if you wanna zoom in)
Cridowskin (if you use a unique player, obviously choose that instead):
I personally only use Cridowskin for the face and FSM for the body. But Cridow's body textures are also great, and these are the options I would pick.

My load order:
Blurred-out stuff that is not relevant. Expressive Expressions are not needed, but it has some nice teeth and is an upgrade for female facial expressions.
Also, never said this is how it should be, but it works for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is me trying to explain it with my not so great English.
How to install preset:
Spoiler:
1. Install with whatever mod manager you are using. If installing manually extract the downloaded file and drop the "F4SE" folder into Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data, or wherever your FO4 is located.
2. Start a new game, use slm 14 in the console, or use Looks Mirror. Or whatever other way you have of the opening character creator.
3. Select presets.
4. Choose whatever preset you want, and press back.
5. The preset will show up with black lipstick and ugly lip colour when loaded. I have no idea why. But go to extras -> makeup -> lipstick. There you can remove it by clicking the spacebar and then accept. To remove other lip colours go to extras -> blemishes -> lip colour. Do the same thing as before. With a blank preset the same will happen, but for that just go to extras and press R to remove all.
6. Go to extras -> neck seam correction -> seamless neck. Make sure it is selected and 100%.
7. You can mess around and change whatever you like. When you are done press enter and confirm your character.
8. Open the Mod configuration menu. esc -> mod config -> HiPoly Faces REDUX -> Controls (seamless player) or unique player if you use that -> click on Enable Seamless HiPoly Face and Head. You might notice a tiny "lag" after clicking it, exit all menus and wait for a pop-up. Read what it says, click ok. There should be none or very minimal neck seam. If it persists go to slm 14 and make sure the stuff you did in step 6 is still enabled, if not, re-enable it.
9. Done. At least this is how I do it and it works for me 99.9% of the time. There are probably many other ways of doing it, so do what works for you.

Reasons for "brown face bug"
Spoiler:
1. You have HD DLC enabled. This is awful, please don't use it. You can disable it in Steam as shown here.
2. You have mods that conflict with the 2k stuff you installed. You can only have the vanilla size or 2k, not both at the same time. Make sure everything you have that goes on the character's face is 2k compatible. If you install all the required mods for this preset, disable everything else that you have related to the character's face. Or check if these mods have a 2k version/patch.
This is what I follow and never have brown face issues anymore. If this makes no sense or does not work for you, there are many guides online, or you can always ask for help in mine or any other FO4 Discord server.
